There exists an unholy interaction between Firefox and Unreal Engine 5.8.0's editor. Firefox suddenly causes continuously scaling memory errors in the editor. The editor causes Firefox tabs to crash, as it just did with Sky News repeatedly, until I brought UE5 down. It's a random occurrence possibly tied to the Vulkan driver in Linux.

#Bottles 65 macht Windows-Spiele unter #Linux komfortabler denn je

Besonders #Gamer profitieren von besserer #Steam-Unterstützung und neuen Grafikfunktionen.

Zeitgleich erscheint #Soda 11.0-4, der hauseigene #Wine-Runner des Projekts. Die Entwickler bezeichnen ihn als bisher beste Soda-Version. Außerdem unterstützt Bottles jetzt LSFG-VK für #Frame Generation in kompatiblen #Vulkan-Spielen. Neu ist auch ein #FPS-Limiter, der sich für jede Bottle einzeln festlegen lässt.

Tausende Urlauber sitzen wegen Ätna fest

Der Ätna auf Sizilien ist derzeit wieder etwas aktivert. Große Lavaströme fließen den Berg herab, Rauchschwaden bedecken den Himmel. Behörden haben daher aus Sicherheitsgründen Flüge aus der Region abgesagt. Das führt nun dazu, dass tausende Touristen auf der Insel festsitzen. Viele werden zu anderen Flugplätzen umgeleitet, manche reisen auch per Schiff ab.

For: Linux distro developers
Subject: Building Vulkan ollama from source

I've been working on my own Linux distro [Laclin] for 30 years.

This week, I managed to get a #Vulkan copy of #ollama to build in my distro. This post is a high-level overview of the process for other distro developers. Note: "Vulkan" means that it only works for some chipsets but it works out of the box in those cases.

Advisory: Builds from source are straight-forward in standard distros. If you're creating a non-standard distro from source, the process isn't for the faint-hearted. New packages can mean the need to juggle a dozen pieces.

"ollama" dependencies include the following packages. If your distro breaks packages into production and devel versions, the devel versions are needed.

bzip2, cmake, elfutils, eudev, expat, gcc [or clang], git, go, make, ncurses, pkgconf, python3, xorg, xzutils, zlib, zstd

To build "ollama" from source, you need to collect sources for the following pieces and get each of them to build separately.

xorg - You need to build "libvulkan_*.so" libraries [note the underscore] and install Vulkan ICD "*.json" files. These steps are part of the build of the "xorg" Mesa component, so you might find that they've already been done.

glslang - This needs to be installed as a separate package and also as a source tree that goes into the "shaderc" source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang.git

spirv-headers - This needs to be installed as a separate package and also as a source tree that goes into the "spirv-tools" source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers.git

spirv-tools - You need to add a copy of the "spirv-headers" source tree to this source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools.git

shaderc - You need to add copies of the "glslang" and "spirv-tools" source trees to this source tree. The build per se is simple "cmake".

For this package, I recommend that you add the following "cmake" option setting:
-DSHADERC_SKIP_TESTS=ON

git repo: https://github.com/google/shaderc.git

vulkan-headers - The build for this package is simple "cmake".

git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers.git

vulkan-loader - This package provides a high-level Vulkan library named "libvulkan.so". That file is separate from the "libvulkan_*.so" files mentioned above. The build is simple "cmake".

git repo: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader.git

vulkan-sdk - I didn't use upstream sources directly for this package. In my version:

• There is a "bin" directory. It contains symlinks to the "glslang" and "glslangValidator" executables in the "glslang" package.

• There are "include" and "share" directories. These are simply the corresponding "vulkan-headers" directories. "vulkan-headers" is installed to the "vulkan-sdk" prefix.

• There is a "lib" directory. It is simply the "vulkan-loader" lib directory. "vulkan-loader" is installed to the "vulkan-sdk" prefix. Symlinks to the "xorg" "libvulkan_*.so" library files are added to the "lib" directory.

ollama - This is the tricky package in the list.

git repo: https://github.com/ollama/ollama.git

The build procedure for "ollama" looks roughly like this:

# Path to desired "ollama" prefix directory
PP=/somewhere/ollama
rm -fr $PP

BINDIR=$PP/bin
DATADIR=$PP/data
LIBDIR=$PP/lib
mkdir -p $BINDIR $DATADIR $LIBDIR

# Path to "spirv-headers" prefix directory
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/somewhere/spirv-headers

# Path to "vulkan-sdk" prefix directory
export VULKAN_SDK=/somewhere/vulkan-sdk

# Path to "xorg" prefix directory [export isn't needed]
XORG_PREFIX=/somewhere/xorg

rm -fr ollama
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ollama/ollama.git 
cd ollama

go generate ./...
pushd llama/server/
cmake -DGGML_VULKAN=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make -j$(nproc)
popd
go build

mv ollama $BINDIR/
mv llama/server/bin/*.so* $LIBDIR/
mv llama/server/bin/* $BINDIR/
cp -p $XORG_PREFIX/share/vulkan/icd.d/*.json $DATADIR/

Installation of LLM models and how to run the "ollama" server and client is/are beyond the scope of these notes.

Here's one tip related to that: At runtime, you'll need to add the BINDIR and LIBDIR settings indicated above to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH [respectively]. In "bash", the latter two environment variables should also exported using "export".

Can any #shader guru explain why the first statement gives weird artifacts, and the second one doesn't? Why are they not equivalent?

lut_index_a is indirectly derived from a varying float that comes in from the vertex shader.

The artifacts seem to be occurring in 8x8 pixel blocks which are tied to the viewport, not the geometry.

Using an AMD Radeon RX 7600 on Arch Linux, I think with the Mesa driver.

Minecraft Java Edition is getting its first major PC requirements update since 2009. You'll now need at least 8GB RAM, a 4-core CPU, and a GTX 950 / RX 460-class GPU. The move prepares the game for its transition from #OpenGL to Vulkan. 🎮🖥️ #Minecraft #PCGaming #Gaming #Vulkan

Good news: the performance problems I found in Showtime 50.0's gtk4paintablesink while attempting to play 4K videos… appear to be a collection of known issues that have their own tickets and pending merge requests.

The new finding, however, is that Mesa's "ANV" (Vulkan driver for Intel GPUs) does not seem to support P010 formats even when the hardware actually supports P010. Reported here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/work_items/15984

New Vulkan Tutorial: Opacity Micromaps

A focused bonus course tucked inside Building a Simple Engine's "Extra Courses," aimed at one very specific ray tracing performance problem: alpha-tested geometry. Foliage, chain-link fences, and hair force the GPU to run an any-hit shader on every BVH intersection, and that cost explodes exactly where scenes look best.

#Valve Sponsors Work Bringing Open-Source Radeon #Vulkan #RADV Driver To Windows

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Valve-Sponsors-RADV-Windows

RADV ist besser optimiert als der offizielle Vulkan-Treiber von AMD für Windows. Indem sie die RADV-API auch auf Windows bringen, verbessern sie (zumindest für AMD-GPUs) die Vulkan-Situation auch auf der Plattform und das könnte ggf. langfristig eine Abkehr von Direct3D-Zielprogrammierung in großen Spielen nach sich ziehen.
